[QUOTE="Pam R, post: 204519, member: 108"] Gcvmom, That was a really great find! We've had a few of those over the years. DS wanted a watch. so we stopped at this tag sale, not a selected one, just on the way, and they had a watch for $2, in very good shape. I told DS to try to bargain it to $1. Nope, they wanted $2. I told him to ask his father. husband says, Buy it! So he did. Checked online when we got home. It's a deepsea diver's watch, worth $350. They were selling it because the band was too big for their son's wrist. husband has picked up 2 deer stands in the last year. One for $25, one for $50. In excellent condition. They retail about $300 each. I wrote about the fencing in another post, 7 rolls for $60, each roll retails at about $100. That was 2 weeks ago. husband picked up a 2 ton chainfall for $10. They are around $200. That was 2 weeks ago also. I pick up the Farberware Classic cookware for $.50 to $5 frequently. I've got about 50+ pieces now, including some rare ones. Stuff retails at $25 and up per piece. I also posted previously about a 6 burner (one burner for candy making) gas stove with 2 ovens, a rotisserie and 2 broilers we got for $75. It was immaculate. There's been lots of great finds over the years. We have a local paper that allows excellent listings, in that you can describe lots of what you offer. So I go through those every Friday night, pick the ones that look best and set up a route. We leave at 7:30 Saturday morning, for the 8:00 ones. We stop at ones that look good, if they are on the route, but seldom go off route for any. We're able to do as many as 30 in a morning. Sometimes we find good stuff at the unscheduled ones. But mostly it's just perseverance going out there every Saturday. In the beginning, we only took $20 with us, and the checkbook. Seldom spent more than that. But lately we've had to take $50 or more, but we've done really well with it. It's how we've managed to survive on a single disability income for the last 10 yrs. Pam R. [/QUOTE]
